The 39-year-old has scored just 10 points from the opening four rounds following his Mercedes team바카라s misfiring campaign.

Hamilton has failed to finish in the top six so far, and crossed the line a distant ninth at the last round in Japan a fortnight ago.

Hamilton, who is moving to Ferrari next year, was asked if Mercedes바카라 early-season troubles vindicated his decision to quit the team, which carried him to six of his record-equalling seven world championships.

바카라I don바카라t feel like I need my decision vindicating,바카라 he said. 바카라I know what is right for me, and that hasn바카라t changed from the moment I made the decision.

바카라There바카라s not been a moment that I바카라ve questioned it, and I바카라m not swayed by other people바카라s comments.

바카라Even today, there바카라s people continuing to talk s***, and that will continue on for the rest of the year.

바카라I바카라ll have to just do what I did the previous time (when he moved to Mercedes from McLaren). Only I can know what바카라s right for me, and this (joining Ferrari) will be an exciting time for me.바카라

Hamilton, who was speaking ahead of this weekend바카라s Chinese Grand Prix 바카라 the first staged here since 2019 바카라 was asked what he meant by 바카라people taking s***바카라.

바카라Just read what바카라s out there,바카라 he replied.

Hamilton will be 40 when he makes his debut for Ferrari in Australia next March.

Fernando Alonso announced last week that he will remain in the sport beyond his 45th birthday after agreeing a contract extension with Aston Martin. The Spaniard, 43 in July, will become the oldest driver of the modern era.

And Hamilton added: 바카라I바카라m going to be racing for quite some time still, right into my 40s, so it바카라s definitely good Fernando is still around and keeps going on for a bit longer.

바카라I never thought I바카라d be racing into my 40s. I바카라m pretty sure I said I wouldn바카라t. But life is such a crazy trick. I don바카라t feel like I바카라m nearing 40. I feel like I바카라m pretty young.

바카라It바카라s a real positive that Fernando is staying because it means I바카라m not the oldest driver here.

바카라But also Fernando is one of the best drivers we바카라ve had in the sport so for him to continue to be here and continue to have the output that he바카라s had just shows what바카라s possible.바카라

Hamilton, who has won a record six times in China, will be back on track on Friday in qualifying for the first sprint round of the season.

In a rejig of the format this year, the grid for Sunday바카라s main event will now be determined after the 19-lap race which gets under way at 11:00am (4am BST) on Saturday.
